LABOUR AND "REDS."
THE REVOLUTIONARY IDEA. " VIEWS OF A MINORITY." A. and N.Z. LONDON. Sept. 14. Mr. J. R. Qlynes, chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party, in reviewing the results of the recent Labour confer ence, said: " The objectives of the Reds are due less to an influence from Moscow than wages reductions and growing unemployment. Our outlook on Moscow does not arise from the wish to copy Bolshevism. " Only a few who do not know British history and character seek to imitate conditions, which, if applied to England, would hasten our own ruin. We need not prepare to resist anything by force of arms and violence, which would intensify the evils from which we are suffering, end in the starvation of tho working class and leave the problems unsettled after the fight. " The idea of revolution is entertained by a minority who are largely without knowledge of the development of organised labour in Britain."
